Barnard makes good use of the city of Leeds and its suburbs. This novel is mainly set in Kirkstall and if, like me, you know the area well you will recognise a lot of street names and landmarks. I struggled with Merlyn through the traffic of Leeds city centre and I know the hotel where he was staying. This increased my enjoyment of the book, but the plot isn't dependent on the location and you can still enjoy the novel without knowing Leeds at all.
If you like crime fiction I'd recommend this novel. It's one of Barnard's better books. There have been low points in his writing, such as [[''The Corpse at the Haworth Tandoori]] '' - unfortunately the only book of his that I've bought - but this is much closer to the other end of the scale.
